He turned her around to face him and
planted a kiss on her forehead, to her
utmost surprise. “Take care. I have to go to
work.” He just said before leaving her in the
kitchen.

…
“She loved her. She name the puppy Blaze.
God, you should have seen her face when I
got her the puppy. I knew it was an amazing
idea.” Joseph grinned, telling Tobi about his
anniversary with Dera.

They were sitting in the conference room
waiting for some investors that were stuck
in traffic.

“That sounds like Dera.” Tobi replied,
attempting to smile, but his friend didn’t
notice his mood.
“And we’ve been married for six years. God!
I feel so old.” Joseph chuckled.
“You are.” Tobi simply said

.
“What’s wrong? I know it’s not about this
deal we’re about to close because you
always get what you want.” Joseph pointed
out.

“It’s Abena.” Tobi groaned in frustration.
“Ohh. You’re in love with her?” Joseph
asked hopefully.

“There’s something wrong with you.” Tobi
glared at his friend who in response, gave
him a shrug.

“We always fight. And I’m trying so hard to
not fight with her because she’s pregnant
and she has mood swings and I don’t want
her to get depressed and all that, but she
does every single thing wrong.” Tobi
explained.

“I like her. With everything you tell me, you
can tell that she lives in the moment. Unlike
you. You guys would be good for each
other.” Joseph smiled while reading
skimming through a document.
“For the millionth time, she’s not my type!”
Tobi snapped. “And what do you mean by I
don’t live in the moment. I live in the
moment.” Tobi stated, though it sounded
like he was trying to convince himself rather
than convince his friend.
Joseph gave Tobi a look that said: ‘yeah
right.’
“No you don’t. You arrange every aspect of
your life, even your one night stands!”
Joseph argued.

“Well I have to control the outcome of every
situation.” Tobi said.

“No you don’t. Learn to live a little without
planning what would happen after. From my
point of view, you’re definitely losing control
with this Abena thing.” Joseph replied.
Tobi groaned in response.
“Just be nice to her. She’s pregnant for you,
and she’s doing it for money, so it’s eating
her up. Be nice to the girl and stop being
such an ogre.”

Tobi was about to respond when Funmi
opened the door slightly, showing only her
head.

“The investors are here.”
Tobi nodded and stood up. “What are you
doing this weekend?” He asked Joseph.
“Going to Osun. I have a case to settle
there. You?”

“Tami is supposed to come over.”
“Who?”

“An actress.” Tobi explained with a chuckle.
“And you’re taking her to your house, with
Abena there?” Joseph asked, lifting an
eyebrow.

“I really haven’t thought about that.” Tobi
replied, his smile suddenly disappearing.
As they walked out of the room to welcome
the investors, Joseph whispered, “You know
for a billionaire, sometimes, you’re just
dumb.”
…

Abena couldn’t stop thinking about the fact
that Tobi kissed her forehead. And when she
realised that she was thinking about it, she
stopped herself from thinking about it and
started thinking about the fact that she was
thinking about it.
